¹⁸ `And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me,

¹⁶ and lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no power.
